It is sad to hear that some places are having problems in disposing off their own wastes. That is the creation of the Gardiner CH4 by Virginia Gardiner is a total blessing to these places. The CH4 is a plumbing free toilet that turns human waste into a bio-fuel for sanitation strapped cities. With the CH4 plumbing free toilet, human wastes will be carried down to an odorless and sealed compartment and in every three to four days, it will transport to bio-digester and get some cooking fuel. This toilet will not only save water but will also lower down the energy usage for cooking.

I know that there are environmentally conscious people who perform a whole lot of carbon footprint calculations wherever they go, so what better way to do so than with the Japan-only CO2 Calculator? This nifty device is able to help you manage electricity use, water, trash and gas by keying in the necessary figures before a result is displayed on its LCD screen. Too bad it is limited to the Land of the Rising Sun only, as I'm sure this solar-powered device will also do pretty well outside of Japan.

Plain tap water powers this unique, H20 desk calculator! Add a few drops of water to the removable battery and insert it in the calculator for up to three months of use. When the display begins to fade, just refill the battery! It’s more reliable than a solar-powered calculator – and friendlier to the earth, too.
Here’s the specs.
- Eco-friendly new battery can be re-energized by addition of water again and again
- Battery can be stored in a dry state indefinitely, and activated when needed
- Ergonomic design
- Rectangle shape
- Large LCD display
- 12-digit display for home, school or professional use
- Large easy to use buttons
- Buttons measure approx 3/8-inch square
- Includes standard adding machine functions such as memory + or -, last digit correction, rounding, automatic decimal, etc.
- Two non-slip feet on bottom of calculator
BIOS Design Collective is a working group of academic and professional designers “exploring the application of biological patterns to architecture.” The latest project to pull natural science into the built environment is the PhotoBioReactor Sculpture by Charles Lee. Part sculpture, part renewable fuel factory and part bio-remediation plant, the design brings artistic, yet functional, forms into the landscape to inspire the imagination.
photobioreactor is a closed or semi-closed system in which light and nutrients are supplied to the system in an attempt to maximize algal biomass. Nutrients can be in the form of pollutants, so the sculpture can faciliate bio-remediation. It can also use CO2, reducing greenhouse gases.The algae can than be used to generate biodiesel. In this proposal the biodiesel could be used to run the machinery and vehicles that maintain the park.
These photobioreactors are designed in a sculptural manner to add an eye catching feature to the park setting. It consists of an aluminum carriage which has a continuous spiraling tube that cascades from top to bottom. The work could be lighted at night to create a beautiful evening experience powered by a solar array and batteries. The bioreactor towers are attached to a harvesting machine which would extract the algae biomass.
This is the perfect gift for cooks or gardeners or yourself, no green thumb required. It's a counter-top herb garden, with the perfect balance of organic nutrients, oxygen, lighting and automation technology. No messy soil is needed. It comes complete with everything including seed pods and nutrients.
